“We call on miners of affected blockchain and crypto exchanges to blacklist tokens coming from the above addresses,” the team pleaded.

And it appears that at least a small amount of the funds have been returned. Poly Network posted on Twitter “you are moving things to the right direction” and said that it had received more than $1m back.

A little later it posted again saying: “So far, we have received a total value of $4,772,297.675 assets returned by the hacker. ETH address: $2,654,946.051 BSC address: $1,107,870.815 Polygon address: $1,009,480.809.”

According to Poly Network, “the hacker exploited a vulnerability between contract calls, exploit was not caused by the single keeper as rumored.”

Per Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch, the CTO of stablecoin company Tether, Paolo Ardoino, said the company froze $33 million of its tokens lost in the Poly Network attack.

The hackers stole about $267m of Ether, $252m of Binance coins, and $85 million in USDC tokens.

Changpeng Zhao “CZ”, chief of the giant Binance crypto-exchange, said on Twitter that it was aware of the Poly Network attack and noted that there was not much the company could do about it.

“While no one controls BSC (or ETH), we are coordinating with all our security partners to proactively help. There are no guarantees. We will do as much as we can,” he wrote.
